So, one afternoon as she was resting in the general patient center lounge from a session after her chemical infusions, Ashley caught sight of the esteemed doctor as she was walking nearby, enroute to another department no doubt and called her over.
“Good afternoon, Ashley.” A quick nod to the American in recognition as Bette as came up to stand before her. A trace of a smile on her face. “How’s the treatments going?”
“Great, I’m actually able to tolerate the medications better now.” Ashley stated as she sipped on her cold, vitamin loaded smoothie. “And, I’m getting more of my strength back every day.”
“That’s great to hear. You’re making excellent progress.” Bette nodded in agreement. She knew for a fact from previously reviewing the American’s patient chart just that morning that this was indeed true. “According to your doctors and the results of your most recent blood tests, you’re prognosis looks very favorable.”
“That’s awesome news.” Ashley smiled softly, while she inwardly beamed with happiness. “I finally seem to be on the right track.”
“Yes, although yours’ has been a very complicated illness.” Bette told her, a frown of concern on her face. “So many factors to consider for medications and reactions that make treatment very challenging, especially when the disease has progressed as it has with you.”
“Yes, as you know, I’ve been in a number of programs that were less than helpful.” Ashley sighed in frustration, thinking back on all the failed trails she had endured during the past several years.
“Well, now you have the chance to get the correct treatment that you need.” Bette assured her, possessing absolute faith in her company and its ability to assist patients with severe illnesses.
“Yes, thank you. I’m very grateful for this opportunity and your willingness to accept me into the program.” Ashley hoped her words spoke of just how grateful she truly was.
Ashley had always admired the Brit for her dedication to her profession and the total commitment Bette had for her work, her patients and their care.
“You deserve the opportunity to receive proper treatment. And I’ll make absolutely sure that is exactly what you receive. I’m hopeful you’ll make a full recovery.” Bette commented. “Your team of doctors are confident that you will.”

Hey Collins,
Good to see a new chapter.
Your wife is more important, it’s positive there seems to be solutions for her limitations.
Ashley spoke rather firm to Bette and she is right. Bette needed it and now they are finally going to talk.
Bette never ever wanted to hurt Tina, in the past, present or the future, she could have explained to Tina years ago what happened to her father and brother and what it meant to her own future. She decided not to but come on, if you’re life has been tragically changed like hers I’m not sure how i would have handled things.
And now with her own health struggles, i can understand her hesitation to talk about the past and present. She loves Tina, doesn’t want to hurt her by dragging up the past and doesn’t want Tina to hurt not knowing how her health will progress and not promising her a possible relationship.
Great chapter!
Have a good weekend and give my regards to your wife
Hey, as always, thank you for the encouragement & kind words.
My wife actually had 1 procedure today & we are hopeful it will provide her with a good degree of relief.
Yes, these two knuckleheads are coming towards their big moment thus far.
I would say its about high time that someone gave Bette a hard time for a change!
Be safe.
So good to hear from you!
Sorry to hear about your wife’s struggles, but hopefully solutions are on the horizon and will be implemented soon. Hope all goes well.
That Ashley has some guts confronting Bette. Good for her, she cares about her sister so much.
And Bette needed to hear all of those points that Ashley brought up.
Now Bette has to find it within herself to speak honestly with Tina and not continue to hide issues from her.
Great to have you back and looking forward to many more chapters of this terrific story.
Thanks for your supportive words. Means a lot.
Those Kennard sisters can be a handful, especially when they are defending the other.
I don’t think Bette’s gonna have much of a choice to not talk to Tina, so let the fireworks start!!
More to come.
FINALLY !
Well, let’s not put the cart before the horse, Bette could still change her mind and come up with 10,000 excuses.
Good chapter, I hope everything works out for your wife. Good luck and hopefully we’ll read you soon.
FINALLY!! Ha!!
Bette could change her mind, but I won’t let her!! She’s gotta fess up – its well overdue.
Thanks for the supportive words. Fingers crossed!
Short, but very powerful. Nice job here.
Bette needed to get the perspective from Tina’s side via Ashley.
I could feel Bette’s hesitation, sorrow, regret. And certainly Ashley’s frustration and anger.
So looking forward to the next big chapter.
Sending prayers for you and your wife!
Thanks for continuing to be supportive & encouraging me to continue.
Actively working on the next chapter – lots to say & FEEL!!
Keep those prayers coming!
Well worth the wait as this is super charged.
Great chapter and very to the point. Bette can’t mistake Ashley’s intent at all – happiness for her sister.
Best lines – its the whole paragraph when Ashley’s describing Lynn – it’s so rich and exactly pins ‘the no good pilot’ to the seat of the cockpit!!
‘With that no good pilot? Captain Selfish?” Ashley scuffed in disgust. She had no positive thoughts on Lynn. She had disliked the brass woman from the start. Thought Lynn was far too arrogant and narcissistic. “The bitch would breeze into town on a flight with a layover in Philly. Didn’t matter the time or day and expected Tina to drop everything to be with her.”
Ashley doesn’t mince any words.
Thanks so much for your efforts as we understand the stress you and your wife are under. Best wishes and prayers for some relief soon!
Take care of yourself too.
Hey, I had hoped that folks didn’t forget about this novel & so thrilled to find out that those same folks are still following along. Yay!
Glad you enjoyed the Lynn bashing – she deserved it.
Thanks for reaching out & keeping me going.
Hey Collins
First, sending all positive thoughts to you and your wife. Good to hear good things are coming. Thinking about you both.
I LOVE this chapter. Ashley told it like it is – and that’s how Bette needed to hear it. Tina has always taken care of her little sister, now it was Ashley’s turn to take care of her big sister. Gotta say, Ashley sounded just like my sister.
Bette & Tina’s conversation is coming soon, and I can’t wait. Love how you’ve built up to it.
Take care, my friend.

Hey pal,
You’re so kind with your hopeful words for my wife.
Yes, Ashley got real this time & aimed right for Bette’s jugular – Tina! She needed to hear all this, especially from Ashley who had that front row seat for all these years.
This next chapter will be a roller coaster ride for both of them. Whew!!
You take care yourself.
Damn it !
I feel like nothing will ever get better. I hope Tina has more determination than I do.
Thanks for the update.
